Fred Wilson has an excellent post up today titled Venture Fund Economics . It appears to be the first of several posts he’s planning to write on this topic. "When I write about venture fund returns, there are always comments and questions that lead me to believe that the economics of a venture fund are not well understood. And since most of the readers and commenters on this blog are people who work in the startup ecosystem, I think its important that the economics are better understood. So I am planning on some posts on this topic in the coming weeks." Everyone that is interested in venture capital in any way should read this post (and presumably the subsequent ones.) I’ll try to remember to point them out when they appear.

That got your attention, right? Actually I am in a place called “The Palace” – a hotel on New Montgomery Street that I always think of as “the Sheraton Commander” (but am not sure that’s right either.) I won’t be here for long so good luck trying to find the physical instantiation of me today.
Two of my favorite bloggers (and people I adore – both working with and just simply as people) have excellent posts up t...

Book: The Yiddish Policeman’s UnionFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

Every now and then I read a book that is so delicious that I savor it. Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union was one of those books. I finished it over the weekend on a run through the mountains. A number of folks have recommended The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay . It’s up next.
At least two of the people who recommended The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay told me they couldn’t get through ...
